Update 5/14/08!
The meeting on May 13th had a VERY disappointing
turnout! In fact, they ended the meeting very early due to lack
of attendance. How unfortunate. Please note they are STILL accepting
comments until June 13! Please let your voice, and the voice
of your pets, be heard!!!

Removal of the AAFCO certification from all pet food labels
- the certification is misleading as no true certification the
food is "complete and balanced" is available. The
AAFCO acknowledges it does not test pet foods for safety.

It may seem like we're not asking much - we're not! By requesting
only minor changes to pet food labels, we are less likely to be
refused these changes. We're asking for information imperative
for proper labeling, yet information it's not impossible or even
particularly difficult to provide us. We have documentation, from
Pet Food Institute and FDA staff themselves, that the information
is needed by pet owners. By presenting a united front in our requests,
we're more likely to be heard.

To be heard, however, we need HUNDREDS
of individuals to get involved!
